Census Jobs Still Available in Yancey County
RALEIGH – Gov. Bev Perdue today announced that Census jobs are still available in Yancey County through the Boone Local Census Office (LCO). In total, the Census will hire more than 24,000 people across North Carolina. Job seekers can find application information at www.2010censusjobs.gov, by calling 1-866-861-2010, or by contacting the LCO:
Boone LCO
828-832-5900
148 Highway 105 Ext.
Ste. 105
Boone, NC 28607
“Census jobs are a great opportunity for thousands of North Carolinians who are looking for work,” said Gov. Perdue. “At the same time, these workers will help our state achieve a complete count of our population and access the more than $400 billion in federal funds to be distributed each year based on the census count.”
The decennial census will take place on April 1, 2010. It is administered by the federal government, but requires support at the state and local level. In December, Gov. Perdue signed Executive Order No. 33 creating the North Carolina Complete Count Committee to coordinate Census activities at the state level.
Over $400 billion in federal funds will be allocated annually based on the 2010 Census figures. Based on recent estimates, the state will receive approximately $14,000 in federal funding per person counted over the next 10 years. In addition, Census data is the basis for the NC State Demographer’s projections, which are used to determine the distribution of state funds.
